BON VOVAQE.
•Ah, driving Isn’t as easy as it looks,” ilio
horsey man” liegun. “There are too many
downright idiots trusted with reins and
Whips, and it’s ft wonder there are not more
incidents than there are. Some of tnem don’t
•ealiae the danger and more of them don’t
•are. Half grown boys are always most to
ha dreaded silting liehind horses, and espe-
etally iu crowded streets, for there they ran
4o a power of mischief to other people. On
aountry roads they can rarely hurt any one
tout themselves. I don’t mean fa^i driving,
%acause it isn’t often such fools are trusted
With spoody cattle. Yet a man may lie run
aver and hurt or killed l*y a slow animal just
•swell as hy a fast trotter. The driving I
mean is what 1 call‘sloppy* driving, whore
the reins hang half loose over the dashboard,
and the animal is never under control until
after an accident has happened. Then, again,
•onie of the fools I’m speaking about drive
With such a tight r»*in that they stop the
Circulation round the horse's mouth, and they
tdigbt as well try to pull up a cyclone as at
tempt to chock even a slow beast in that state
when he’s frightened and .starts In run uway.
Women don’t, as a nil**, drive well, although
tome of them do. They’re too fidgety, shak
ing the reins and slashing with tho whip.
They’ ro won,n than flics, souio of them, to a
nervous horse, mill nearly all of them want
Boo much continuous work out of an animal.
8PEAK1.no OF had drivers.
"It stands to reason, doesn’t it. that a horse
can’t go at top speed idl the time! 1 know a
mail can’t do it, and I don’t see why a horse
should be expected to do an Impossibility.
But you can’t persuade some ladies of that;
they keep on flicking the animal with the
whip and nagging at him with the reins, for
•1) the world as if lie were a contrary hus
band.”
"You speak of bad drivers. How can that
be remedied?"
“It can only tie done with the drivel's of
publio conveyances and licensed drivers gen
erally. You don’t trust a steam boiler or a
locomotivo to a man until he knows bow to
handle it, do you! Of course not. Then why
should you trust him with a horse that’s often,
Just as dangerous us any high pressure boiler
that ever was built! Why should a man that
wants to earn his living by driving horses not
be called upon to prove that he can do it?
"Look at those cab drivers we’ve got.
Why, pome of them don’t know anil don’t
care where or bow they go. They cut In be
hind vehicles and pop out upon people, either
frightening them to death or driving over
thprn. Then there are those fellows who
drlvo two and throe horse wagons. Look
bow some of them turn corners. Asa rule,
however, men who drivo heavy vehicles are
more careful, because of the weight behind
them and the room thov need to make a
curve, but those light cart clinps are mostly
os bail as they make them, and cab drivers,
when they’re cureless, are worse than uny.
Hansoms m e coming into fashion now in this
city, and if they’re not looked after tlicy’ll
be a regular terror to pedestrians, although
thev’vo got an easy job liecause they sit quite
behind tho whole of the thing they drive.
The worst of thorn is, that they look one way
•ltd drive another, unless they’ve got a faro
inside, and then they go as if tho dovil was
behind them, which ha ought to be, with a
good clmuco of catching up with them."
"style" in driving.
"What do you think about ‘style’ in driv
ing?"
"Tlmt. there's 11s much difference in that as
there is in walking or doing anything else.
A regular coachman's driving is not at nil
like a swell’s handling the ribbons. If 11
gentleman has a pair or a single lieforo him
ho rarely moves his left hand away from in
front of him at t.lio height somewhere about
the fourth button of his waistcoat, with the
whip luid across his hand under his thumb,
using the first two fingers of his right hand
only upon the reins. And he mustn't do this
ptidly, but as easy us if he were holding a
cambric handkerchief or 11 ludy’s fan. Of
course I’m speaking of a mail who sits nliove
his animal. There can bo only one way of
driving a buggy, and every man of any
sense knows how to do that, if I10 can drivo
at all."
"How about a four-in-hand?”
"I think Unit very few gentlemen over
learn to do Hint properly. It is a regular
coaclmiaa’s business at the liestandtuu-t.be
done in coachman's style. You see, there’s
such a hunch of ribbons in a four-in-ham!
that a man's mind is pretty well occupied,
and he must put it into tho work, ju-t. leav
ing enough to spare to mnungo the whip.
That’s a study in itself. How very few men
can flick a fly off a lender's ear mid hy tho
same motion of tho wrist make the lasli whip
itself round tho stick in graceful rings, until
the main part of tho lash is the only large
loop left hanging, ns tho part near tho end
comes up under hia right thumb. I’ve known
men to practice that trick for weeks off the
tho coach and when they tried it on the real
thing get the whole nffuir into such a snarl
that it looked like a Chinese puzzle.”—New
York Star.
How Thackeray Named "Vanity Fair."
In the earliest days of our friendship he
brought his morning work to read to 1110 in
(he evening; he had just commenced “Vanity
Fair,” and was living at tho Old Ship Inn,
where he wrote some of the first numbers.
He often then said to me: "I wonder whether
this will take, the publishers accept it and the
world road it?” I remember answering him
that I had no relinuce my own critical
powers in literature, but tbnt I had written
to my sister, Mrs. Frederick Elliot, and said,
"1 have made a great friendship with one of
the principal contributors of Punch—Mr.
Thackeray; he is now writing a novel, but
cannot bit upon n name for it. 1 may bo
wrong, but it seems to me the cleverest thing
1 ever read. The first time be dined with ns
I was fearfully alarmed at him. The m xt
day wo walked in Chichester park, when he
told all 111 Hint his little clrls, anil of his great
friendship with the Emokfiolds, and l told
him about you and Cheslinm place.”
When he heard tins and my opinion of his
novel he burst out laughing and said: “Ah'
Mademoiselle (ns he always called me), it is
not small beer; but I do not know whether it
will l*e palatable to the London folks.’’ Il«
told me some time afterward that, after ran
sacking his brain for a name for bis novel, it
came upon hint unawares in the middle of
the night, as if a voice had whispered “Van
ity Fair." He said: “I jumped out of lied,
and ran throe times round my room, uttering
ns 1 went, Vanity Fair, Vanity Fair, Vanity
Fair.’"—“Mis- Kata Perry’s Recollections of
Mr. Thackeray" m Scribner’*.
Gold-n trout arc found iu but one place in
the world—that is in the brooks of Mount
Whitney, up near the banks of everlasting
snow Tie y have a golden rtrh-o down each
Tbe dear, loved one of my tool, to-olgtt
Is for from the arms that love her.
Tossed by the grand old ocean's might,
With the starlit sky aboro her;
But my heart goes with her everywhere,
As I prny for her with a fervent prayer.
Sleeping or waking, tho deep, dark oyen
Look into mine, through the happy pant,
Joys and tears and sorrows and sighs,
Tingelng a dream, too sweet to lost.
Dally and nightly for h> f I pray.
For I love her now and will nlway.
Tho memory sweet of the dear, dead dream
Sends tears to tny eyes, swift welling,
But hope conies soon, with a cheering gleam
Of a happy future telling.
For time I11 its oeoseless, tireless How,
Will bring her again to mo, I know;
Waiting and watching and striving wall,
I shall lie worthier then than now.
Stronger the love that my lips shall tell.
Tenderer kisses for her sweet brow.
Cling to me love, though far away
Love me, oh! love, for whom 1 pray.

PHILOSOPHY OF LONGEVITY.
Wlmt. Men and Women Who Aspire to be
Geiitmiariuns Must Do—A Training.
There is much in modern 1 ifgtliat tends to
shorten existence ami to diminish tho proba
bility that u man or woman will reach DO, to
say nothing of 100. We lead more exciting
and more wearing lives. It is in vain that a
person lias a splendid constitution to begin
with, wears flannel, or the equivalent of flan
nel, next to bis skin, dwells in a warm, dry
house and eats and drinks everything that is
good and wholesome, if at the same time he
habitually overtaxes his strength, looks upon
his muscles as more machinery to bo driven
at high pressure, ami ruthlessly calls upon his
nerves to squander their reserve power when
every other source of energy is exhausted.
Men or w omen who intend to be ccntona
rinns iu these days must combine something
of the old mode of lifo with something of tin
new mode of living. Tlioy must, while avail
ing themselves of all tho scientific discoveries
and sanitary appliances of tho age, imitate
their graudsires in tho steady and tranquil
littljits that prevailed before the invention of
locomotives and tho telegraph. They must
liave their eight hours of sleep regularly;
they must liavo intervals of repose and
vacancy hi tbeduy time; they must spend a
goodly portion of their waking hours in the
open air. Nor will that sufilco; there will
have to bo regularity in the hours of their
meals, and discipline in the ordering of the
dishes of which tho meals are composed. We
cannot bellevo that anybody will ever live to
IDO who eats a heavy dinner every night of
IiIh life at 8 o'clock. Champagne in abund
ance, and Bordeaux or Burgundy ad libitum,
should be forsworn by persons who deliber
ately set before then: the attaining of their
100th birthduy. Neither, with such an end
in view, would tho activo life of a politician,
a lawyer, or a doctor tw a sano enterprise.
In order to reach that distant goul there
must bo u training, if not severe, at least
regular and unflinching. Most, of all, there
must prevail in the existence of such a person
a tranquil serenity, an unruffled calm.
Neither generous passions nor enthusiastic
ideals must bo allowed admittance. The
pulse must never bo driven up beyond a cer
tain point, either by work, by anxiety, by
four or by liopo. At tho sitino timo mere
stagnation will, in oil probability, never en
able a person to livo to 10P.. There is such a
thing us rusting out as well as wearing out.
If a candle does not burn brightly enough it
does not consume the wax with rapidity, and
goes out for want of adequate combustion.
It is so, no doubt, with the human body ami
tho human spirit,—London Standard.

Is Consamptlun Inrnrsblels
Bead the following: Mr. C. H. Morris,
Newark, Ark., says: “Was down with
Abscess of Lungs, and friends and physi
cians pronounced me an Incurable Con
sumptive. Began taking Dr. King’s New
Discovery for Consumption, am now on
my third bottle, and able to oversee the
work on my farm. It is the finest medicine
ever made,”
Jesse Middlewart, Decatur, Ohio, says:
“Had it not been for Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption.1 would have died
of Lung Troubles. Was given up by doc
tors. Am now iu best of health.” Try it.

Advice to Bothers.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothino Syrup
should always be used when children are
cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer
at onee; It produces natural, quiet sleep by
relieving the child from pain, and the little
cherub awakes as "bright as a button.”
It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the
child, softens the gums, allays all pain, re
lieves wind, regulates the bowels, and Is
the best known remedy for diarrhoea,
whether arising from teething or other
causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle.
Beirut Hie Farming In Georgia.
Bub Till) or is n colored fanner of this com
munity; and his mode of procedure illus-
trales a very large majority of colored farm
ers who rent land and farm “on their own
hook.” Robert is the orfner of an emaciated,
dim colored, bobtailcd bull which serves as
plow horse, Sunday go to mooting buggy nag
and hauler of a Saturday’s “loud of wood,
sail." Tho feed of this bovino consists of wire
grass, orapped during tho stilly hours of the
night, while his master sleeps tho sleep of the
just; and hence it Is Old Dun doesn’t present
that well fed, sleek appearance incident to
high living.
Passing Farmer Tippor’s recently this re
porter found that gentleman pulling a bell
line over Oltl Dun and going at a snail’s pace,
t browing two furrows to some pale, sickly
looking corn that struggled for existence
amid the weeds and grass always present iu
the average colored pluuter’s crop. Hailing
us ami asking the loan of a “chaw terbucker,
»nh,” the following dialogue ensued:
“Bob, why don’t you hoe out that corn!”
nslasl the reporter.
“I ’lows tor, Boas, when I lays hy”—al
though the corn was iu full silk and tassel at
waist high.
“llow did you begin that, crop, Bob?” asked
tbe reporter.
“In do fust place, sah, I run one furror In

“Do you prepare your land before planting,
Bob!" asked tho reporter,
“O, no, snh, Twon’t do ter go to sturvin’

DYSPEPSIA
Up to a few weeks ago I considered my
self the champion Dyspeptic of America.
During the years that I have been afflicted
I have tried almost everything claimed to
be u specific for Dyspepsia in the hope of
finding something that would afford per
mauent relief. I had about mado up my
mind to abandon all medicines when I no
ticed an endorsement of SIMMONS Lives
Regulator by a prominent, Georgian, s
jurist whom 1 knew, and concluded to try
ts effects in my case. 1 have used bul
two bottles, and am satisfied that I have
struck tho right thing at Inst. I felt its
beneficial effects almost immediately.
Unlike all other preparations of a similai
kind, no speciul instructions are required
ns to what one shall or shall not eat. Thu
fact alone ought to commend it to all
troubled with Dyspepsia.

A Famous Tightrope Performer.
After many years of retirement Blondin,
the most famous tightrope performer in the
world, has returned lo tho active pursuit of
his profession. Although an old man, ho is
said to bo as fearless nml graceful os of old,
and is now giving regular exhibitions in
England. A theatrical man who know him
intimately when ho was in America nml who
was interested in his management when he
performed his wonderful font of crossing Ni
agara, said: llloiulin was absolutely without
nervousness or fear when on tho rope. While
they wore fixing the guys which steadied llio
cables across the Fulls, one of thorn came
loose and hung dangling from tho middle of
cable over the rushing torrent beneath.
Blond in coolly walked along till ho came to
the loose guv rope, w hen ho slid down hand
over hand and reached the end iif it. Lotting
his logs drop, they just touoned the surface of
tho current, of which the force was so great
that l he contact sent him swinging like a
huge iKiululum. Three or four times lie re
pealed this, apparently enjoying the fun, and
then coolly clambered up. I asked him once
whether the rush of the rapids IhjIow him did
not make him dizzy.
“ll might,” h” unsv.ered, “if 1 saw it; hut I
don’t. I in ver i. ok down, for should 1 wo so
1 should bo lost.”
“But how do you tell where to place your
feet?" 1 asked.
“Oh, 1 let my feet take care of themselves."
